Ha ha. I have to say I had a look yesterday to see "whatever happened to".

She's in a terrible band called racine* and has gone down the huge amounts of surgery clinging on to youth look like a freak of nature route.


Watch at your peril, it's perfectly SFW it's just terrible.

Nice version. Actually possibly nicer than the original.

I've a love hate thing with bowie. Love some stuff, hate other stuff.

This album encapsulated it with some quality but some seriously sub-prog bad quality rawk in there too.

Might have to give it another listen now, just to remind myself like ;)

Well, say what you will about Bowie (and you don't want to be stuck on an 8 hour flight next to me on the subject) but the album which spawned this song is the least representative of anything he has ever done, coming as it did before any kind of fame beckoned. Apart from the Title track and one other, both of which he had already written, the rest of the album was very last minute with all of the proggy/guitar solo stuff being produced by Mick Ronson and Tony Visconti whicle Bowie canoodled with his missus in the corner



I never listen to the album itself


Hunky Dory, Ziggy, Young Americans, StationToStation, Low, Scary Monsters, 1.Outside and Heathen would be the touchstones for me

To echo your comment about Andrew Eldrich, I have a friend who's into his wrawk, who spent many years in the states trying to get his career going.

As he said, some things can only be in America, you can write a song about driving your Chevy down route 66, it doesn't work when you're driving your Passat to Biggleswade.


Equally country couldn't emanate from the CPT, no matter how much better pub culture here is to insalubrious mid-west bars.

Went to the Latitude Festival at the weekend. Personal favourites were Seasick Steve and Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip (they both, I think, have myspace pages).


Mockney - saw your BSP post earlier; "Carrion" on Later is superb. As a fan you've probably seen it but here it is:-

      Be careful in local shops

      You can get a card at the till, though, to get the discount. You don't have to carry it with you (or load it onto your phone), you can just get a different card each time. Not sure what happens if they notice 🤣

      Gyms in dulwich

      By NewWave · Posted

      Yes..that may be the case but membership STARTING at £115 a month is still unafforable for many. Council gyms also have a large range of equipment and I had a  PT at Dulwich leisure centre when I was in Full Time employment who was incredible and even kept in contact during lockdown giving me a program I could do at home and checking in weekly at no charge or personal gain for herself. I dont doubt that Fit For may be a good gym (Its been in situ long enough so must be doing something right) However the cost of membership means it is affordable for the few not the many. If I could afford that kind of fee I would rather get a train to Canary Wharf and go to Virgin active where theres a pool and incredible classes and facilities

      FOUND: red TREK bicycle

      By jay66 · Posted

      We found a red TREK bike yesterday that had clearly been stolen and dumped. Would love to reunite it with its owner. Get in touch if you know whose it is.
